Hello and welcome back to the cycling channel, or if you’re new here, hi, I hope you pull up a chair, grab a brew and stay a while.
It’s a hectic week of work and travel – I wish I could spend all day riding my bike and hiking in the forest, but hey ho. Come spend some of the days with me, including joining for a trip up to Manchester, a shop for winter cycling food and attempting to get out for a winter spin when motivation feels lacking.
Hope you enjoy!
I won’t ever push links over here, but as we all love a bit of a bargain, some discount codes from some super lovely partners:
£25 off LAKA bike insurance: https://my.laka.co/WEJ30
20% off Pelotan using PELOHUN20 – stay safe in the sun
10% off all SIROKO cycling kit using PELOHUN10 at checkout – men and women – tuck in! Kit I’m wearing in the video is all SIROKO – who are super reasonably priced and actually so impressed with the quality. (Been wearing for months now to road test before sharing).
Thanks so much for all the support, really appreciate any likes, comments and subscribes ❤

A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.
For years I feared riding a bike – I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.
I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.
Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging – which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.
So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike – the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.
Come with me on some adventures.

Track days are brilliant you must do one
I lost 4 bikes in London.. it's like Somalia there… 😅
Good video we are getting the storm friday and Saturday then it's heading over to England enjoy haha.
I enjoyed that – our trip to London & Manchester and around supermarkets! I've lost my ear for accents and had no idea what yours was – other than "English". Entirely my fault – I've been around too many people from too many places, both British and elsewhere, and it ceased to matter. The car update sounds very exciting – I want to know about how you made your choices.
Loving the vlogmas so far Kate. Booked onto the zwift ride on the 16th and looking forward to it!
Can fully relate to the motivation issues at this time of year! Especially up here in not so sunny Bolton! 😳😁
New Rapha shop is great in Manchester and the guys are super friendly
